Hi Anon,

That is a great question!

I think this depends on 2 things -

  1. the withdrawal speed of cash smart, which you can read here

  2. the short term worst-casevolatillity of the cash smart portfolio, which can read here

My personal preference is to not use cash smart for ultra short term money (like within 1 month), but to use

Cash Smart Core for money that may need to be deployed within 1-3 months

Cash Smart Enhanced for money that may need to be deployed within between 3 months to 2 years

My personal preference is to put the equities investment money into Enhanced since I am willing to take risk with the money anyway.

Hope this helps.​​​
